Yas Mall Hosts Thrilling Gaming Festival Until August 10
Yas Mall has kicked off its much-anticipated Yas Gaming Festival 2025, running from July 30 to August 10 at Town Square. The free-to-attend event brings together gaming enthusiasts of all ages for nearly two weeks of interactive entertainment, competitions, and rewards.
This year’s edition offers an immersive experience inspired by a life-sized Nintendo Switch setup. Festivalgoers can enjoy a variety of classic and next-generation video games across PS5, Xbox, and Nintendo platforms. Popular titles like FIFA, Tekken, and Fortnite are available for play, with up to 40 gamers able to compete simultaneously in an electrifying arcade atmosphere.
Beyond gaming, the event also features cosplay competitions on August 2 and August 9, providing participants a platform to dress as iconic characters and vie for prizes in front of a live audience.
Adding to the excitement is the Darna gaming station, powered by Aldar’s digital loyalty program. Attendees can register on the Darna app, link their UAE-issued Visa or MasterCard, and earn Darna Points on spending at Yas Mall. Points can be redeemed across Aldar’s wide range of destinations for shopping, dining, hotels, and entertainment, with tiered benefits across Silver, Gold, and Platinum levels.
In addition to the festival, Yas Mall maintains its status as a year-round gaming hub. The venue is home to regional gaming leaders such as Nigma Galaxy and True Gamers, as well as top electronics and lifestyle outlets like Virgin Megastore, E-max, and E-city—making it a one-stop destination for gamers and tech enthusiasts alike.
The Yas Gaming Festival 2025 combines nostalgic classics with cutting-edge releases, live competitions, and exclusive deals, reinforcing Yas Mall’s role as a premier indoor summer destination in Abu Dhabi.
